We just heard from Steve at VS TANK, the much awaited 1/24 RC M4A3Sherman is about to be released to market! To help launch this new release, VS Tank have asked RC Tank HQ to conduct a review at the earliest opportunity, so you can expect the full story, and video of the Sherman VERY soon. Of course this Sherman comes only a couple of months after VS TANK's last release, the KV-2, and we'll be undertaking a review of that tank for our readers as well!
